Following the strong buzz around its trailer, Sajid Nadiadwala’s O’Romeo raises the tempo with its second song, Aashiqon Ki Colony, a lively, high-energy dance number that instantly stands out. Infused with a distinct 90s visual sensibility and powered by contemporary beats, the track seamlessly blends nostalgia with a modern pulse, driven by a hook that’s effortlessly catchy and instantly engaging.
Aashiqon Ki Colony out
The song brings together an iconic creative trio. Composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, written by Gulzar, and voiced by Madhubanti Bagchi and Javed Ali, Aashiqon Ki Colony carries a playful spirit that feels rooted yet refreshed. It channels the joy and warmth of classic Bollywood music while staying firmly in tune with today’s soundscape. The music is presented by T-Series.
Adding to the song’s appeal is a fresh on-screen pairing. Shahid Kapoor and Disha Patani come together for the first time, bringing a dynamic energy that feels spontaneous and electric. Set against a vibrant, celebratory backdrop, both actors embrace the rhythm in their own distinct styles. Shahid appears in a rugged new look, slipping in a slick, Michael Jackson-inspired move that adds a memorable surprise, while Disha exudes confidence and ease, her performance marked by fluidity, grace, and infectious charm.
With its throwback flavour, Indianized soul, and beats designed to get audiences moving, Aashiqon Ki Colony captures the essence of timeless Bollywood dance numbers – reimagined with a fresh, contemporary edge. Fun, spirited, and unapologetically energetic, the track adds another vibrant musical moment to O’Romeo as the film builds momentum toward its Valentine’s Week release.
Vishal Bharadwaj addresses O` Romeo controversy
​Sanober Sheikh, the daughter of Hussain Ustara (whose life has reportedly inspired the film), has slapped the makers of O’Romeo with a legal notice. Sanober claims the film offers a wrong portrayal of her father and has demanded Rs 2 crore in compensation.
She denied reports that her family threatened the makers of the upcoming film O’Romeo, saying they have resorted only to legal action and are asking for a pre-release screening to ensure an accurate portrayal of her father’s life.
At the trailer launch, Vishal Bharadwaj addressed the claim. “There is a book called Mafia Queens of Mumbai. Hussain Zaidi has written that story. I took the rights of that story and made a film on it. I didn`t think because that story is based on that story. The characters are the same, but there is a lot of fiction in it. Hussain Zaidi must have taken that permission or should have taken it. I didn`t think I needed it because it`s based on a story which is part of a book. The film didn`t happen before, and it`s finally happened now.”
O’Romeo releases in cinemas this Valentine’s Week on 13th February 2026.
